Mission: Everest 2025 🏔️ “Our objective is to unify the military community, especially the veterans who have served King and country, and to raise funds for their charities, especially those which support the families of those whose loved ones have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedoms.”  The UK Government’s Minister for Veterans and People, and former Colonel, Al Carns and three Special Forces veterans Anthony “Staz” Stazicker, Major Garth Miller and Kevin Godlington will be attempting the fastest-ever ascent of Mount Everest this May— travelling from London to the summit of Everest and back in 7 days, significantly faster than the standard expedition time of two months. Their aim is to highlight the veterans community and their welfare, and to raise £1 million for a number of Armed Forces and Veterans’ charities, including those that support bereaved military families. Mission Everest will utilise cutting edge science to acclimatise to extreme altitude before setting foot in Nepal as part of the team’s efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of the expedition. This will dramatically reduce the expedition footprint, enabling the team to tread lightly in the fragile Himalayan eco-system. The team will all be wearing ThruDark’s high performance clothing to complete the task, amongst which will be the debut of ThruDark’s latest generation of Summit Suit, designed to survive the death zone on 8,000m+ peaks. #Everest7days #missioneverest2025 #fortunefavoursthebrave #endeavourthroughadversity
